Front bump stop extensions

I'd like to get my front bump stops an inch or so closer to their contact point I'm debating how to achieve it.

My first thought was I could use a metal bracket or a block maybe to bolt to the lca and then bolt the bump stop to that. But then I started thinking putting a solid material under it might be a bad idea in case the suspension really gets compressed.

I haven't found much in a longer version of the bump stop, right now I have the energy suspension version that are pretty tall but I have seen a few versions of an extension using plastic or metal. Anyone have any experience with either?

I think it might be because of how my coilovers are set up but they have to basically be almost at full compression before they make contact, is that preferable over having it make contact sooner and help slow down the compression?

As long as you're not getting coil bind or you're jumping it, let it be. Like they said, we need all the travel we can get if you're wheeling it.

Near full compression I do get some binding. The Moog coils that I used have a lot more individual coils than the OE set did which is what causes it, I do jump it every so often but nothing too crazy, I know it's not a Raptor haha.

Honestly I might stop doing that because the ride quality at the moment is amazing with the new lca's installed. I don't want to ruin this moment.
